This book was released on 2001 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the status and trends in fertility and family formation in Denmark up to 1994-95, with a focus on the situation in 1994. For various reasons, Denmark did not conduct a Fertility and Family Survey (FFS). Instead, the report aims to consider the issues raised in the FFS studies as far as possible, based on a number of sources including previously published statistics and unpublished data from registers. The report considers: social, economic and cultural trends; population trends; an analysis of the data comparable to the FFS results, including partnerships, fertility patterns, female education and occupation; and an overview of some life-course event histories.

Download or read book Demographic and Social Implications of Low Fertility for Family Structures in Europe written by Nico Keilman and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study sets out to investigate the relationship between low fertility and new patterns in the family and non-family sectors. It examines the social implications of childlessness, single-child families and other family sizes with an emphasis on questions of social cohesion. Firstly a theoretical perspective on childlessness is given. This is followed by an analysis of the impact of changes in birth order-specific fertility on family size using the results from a simulation study which analyses how family sizes change when the level and timing of age- and birth order-specific fertility change. The final section discusses possible consequences for social cohesion and social exclusion of the trends identified in the previous sections with a focus on poverty [Ed.]

Download or read book When Children Become Parents written by Daguerre, Anne and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2006-11 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teenage parenthood is recognised as a significant disadvantage in western industrialised nations. It has been found to increase the likelihood of poverty and to reinforce inequalities. This book explores, for the first time, the links between welfare state provision and teenage reproductive behaviour across a range of countries with differing welfare regimes. Drawing on both welfare state and feminist literature, as well as on new empirical evidence, the book compares public policy responses to teenage parenthood in each 'family' of welfare regime: Nordic, Liberal and Continental (Western European); analyses the different socio-political contexts in which teenage pregnancy is constructed as a social problem and identifies best practice in Europe and the USA. Countries included in the study are the UK, USA, New Zealand, France, Italy, Poland, Denmark, Norway, the Canadian province of Quebec and Russia. The contributors are all internationally recognised experts in the fields of welfare and/or gender studies. When children become parents is important reading for a wide audience of students, policy makers, practitioners and academics in sociology, social policy, social geography, education, psychology, and youth and gender studies.

Download or read book Globalization Uncertainty and Youth in Society written by Hans-Peter Blossfeld and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-01-16 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining how youths in fourteen industrialized societies make the transition to adulthood in an era of globalization and rising uncertainty, this collection of essays investigates the impact that institutions working with social groups of youths have upon those youths' abilities to make adult decisions determining their life courses. Covering both Europe and North America, the book includes case studies, and contains country-specific contributions on conservative, social-democratic, post-socialist, liberal and familistic welfare regimes, as well as data from the GLOBALIFE project. Filling the gap in the market on the micro effects of globalization on individuals, and taking an empirical approach to the topic, this impressive volume brings the individual and nation-specific institutions back into the discussion on globalization.
